The showing OF the last twelve months trade in
the tnited states. according TO the figures quoted
py BrddstTeers, Is : cheerful one for the year 10
20 out on Since 1850 the increase In population
Is estimated az about 23 per cent; but the increase
IN Industrial activities has far more than kept
pace with IL The comparison Of this years fail
ores with last years shows a decrease OF some
eight hundred, or at the rate OF sixteen a week,
and the proportion OF assets TO liabilities has
risen from 90 per cent In 1885 and 40 In 1856 %
4s5 In 1887. When we bear In mind the fact that
speculation has run not through the west, this
array OF figures means a good deal. and the study
OF u VIII help many business man to take fresh
heart OF hope on entering upon the new year.

A WILD COW.

Mad Beast Creates Excitement and
Runs Through . Jewelry store.
Yesterday several cows arrived in
Palatka from Orlando, bound for st.
Augustine, and when they were moved
from the freight car to the ferry boat
two of them managed to get overheard
into the river. Escaping from the water.
one of them in mad fury ran at every
person she could see, and came near
goring more than one person with her
ugly looking horns. Mr.. A. l.. Rogero
attempted To stop her with his umbrella,
but he was compelled to take to his heels
and seek refuge behind a telegraph pole.
The COW was finally driven on the wharf,
when she went into the river. and did
some expert swimming, but managed
to- evade the ropes that We're thrown at
her horns. After swimming around
awhile she came ashore and ran
up Front street, every body making
room to give her free passage way. She
attempted to go into the drug store of
Lowry & Starr, but was driven out.
when she made break for j. F. Speck
& Sons jewelry store and went through
it, but strange to say doing no damage
whatever. From here she went through
the rear alley and out Oak street, and
so far as this scribe knows she may be-
running yet.
A large crowd of men and boys fol-
lowed the wild animal through the
streets, and we are glad to state that
none of them were injured by the COW.
But it was laughable to see how scarce
people made themselves when she start
eel in their direction.

man of much experience and observa

clean faces with their well combed hair
tied up behind. and the chubby boys
stand square and independent on their
legs apart with good sound hats on their
heads, and the hounds with loud voice
give notice of the approach of a traveller.
and then the matron comes To the door
way with neat. white apron about her
and speaks To the hounds in kind re-

not be the sea-onable hour.

portion of the day was spent. An ample
basket dinner had been provided. and at
the dinner hour the picnickers enjoyed a
regular feast.
The older people enjoyed quiet chats,
the youths and maidens INDUCED in
strolls along the beautiful street and
about the park, and the children whiled
away the time in sport that seemed to
make them exceedingly happy. A large
number of the members of the Palatka
Sunday School turned out and mingled

the day passed very pleasantly for all.

CITY NOTES.

An excursion from Palatka to Daytona
ON Sunday next. The fare for the round
trip will be S1.00.
Alderman ID. A. Boyd is having a new
saw mill building erected on the river, in
front of the Baptist Church, near his old
mill. 1t looks as if it was going to be a
very substantial affair.
A person would have to- travel a good
long distance to find anything as pleas
ant as first-class Florida breeze. 1t
comes fresh from the bosom Of old
ocean, and we know of nothing that
gives more comfort.
Hereafter all the drug stores of the
city will be closed at o'clock in the
evening, except Saturdays. On Sunday
drugs can be obtained from = to 10
O'Clock in the morning, and from 4 to q
o'clock in the evening.
The sOuth-bOund freight train on the
Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West Rail
way, arrives here much earlier now, and
freight to insure prompt shipment in that
direction must be at the depot at II a.
m. instead of p. m, as heretofore.
Our Gainesville visitors took in all the
sights of the city yesterday. A great
many of them were out in buggies and
carriages, while parties walking could
be seen in almost all parts of the city i'm
the afternoon. They appeared to enjoy
the day very much. and we hope to have
them visit us again.
The steam ferry boat Armsmear will
be sent to Jacksonville for the summer
season, and the ferry boat Louise will
run between the two railroads and Pa
latka. The Armsmear will be brought
back next season and placed on her old
run, but the Louise can easily do all the
business during the summer months

NJ. III. Dalton, VIM. F. Forward, Irving

left for Indian River, where they go on
an extended fishing and hunting frolic
The party was well equipped. and if they
do not secure plenty of fish and game
and barrels of fun it will not be for want
of effort on their part.
Messrs. MUMMY. Stockton & Knight,
of Jacksonville, have sent us patent
lemon squeezer. which unfortunately
was broken to pieces in transportation.
From the circular accompanying the
squeezer, however, we learn that it is
one of the neatest and best things of the
kind ever invented. 1t is known as
Manning's Squeezer, and is sold for 40
cents each by mail
People who attended the performance
of the Palatka Literary and Dramatic
Club on Monday evening are unstinted
in their praise of the excellent manner
in which the farce and comedy were pre-
sented. We hope the club will give
another performance soon. as great
many who were not present ON Monday
evening wish to witness the plays.

AN ORA NGE FRAUD.
A Lively Letter tn One of the Too-Toe
Comm issron Men.

Lively Letter to One of the Too-To
Commission Men.
The greatest trouble our fruit and
vegetable growers have is in their deal
ings with dishonest commission men.
Some time ago a prominent fruit grower
of Crescent City shipped tifty-One boxes
of fine naval oranges to F. A. Cosgrove.
of 81 Murray street. New York, and
after much delay and considerable cor
respOndence succeeded in getting check
for 1925 for the lot, when the fruit was
quoted at from 81 to $3.50 per box. The
shipper has written to Cosgrove for a
lock of his hair, the color of his eyes and
a photograph, which he proposes to show
to all confiding shippers.
Below we print an open letter from the
gentleman referred to. which we take
pleasure in giving to- the public that 9th
ers may be warned by his experience.
Ii other fruit growers have been SINH
larry swindled, we will give them space
in our columns to warn their neighbors
of the frauds. Here is the letter:
GLENN COVE GROVE,
CRESCENT CITY. FLA, MAY 2, 1887
Messrs. F. \. Cosgrovs & Son. New York City:
GENTS return your stencil by to-
days mail, and request you to send us
your photograph, a lock of your hair and
the color of your eyes We want to or
game fruit growers protective assOci-
alton. The object being To show UP the
commission men who rob us in part and
in whole of our consignments to them.
In my contribution | want to put your
pictures. the account of sales of xl933
for the tifty-one boxes of Navel oranges
with your circulars of quotations and your
letters, where others may see them and
be warned by my experience. Particu-
larry do want the lock of hair and the
color of your eyes, that YOU NAV be
known under whatever name you appear
hereafter. Had you not told me (when
| asked you how long YOU kept the
money after making sales) that you
made returns same day of sale, / would
never have sent YOU a box
If You remember, / told you when
you were at my grove, that l always
considered my oranges stolen when a
a commission man kept them on hand
over ten days, or who kept the money
over thirty days. MY first letter to YOU,
after you had my fruit thirty DAYS. was
gentle reminder of that conversation.
My second letter was intended as a
strong hint. My third and last brought
confirmation of what l told you. in the
form of check for 1923 for fifty-one
boxes of oranges, which your quotations.
since about the Goth of February, said
Were worth: Bright-$6.0O to $3.50:
